PEEK AT THE WEEK: Summer officially begins with the solstice on Friday morning. Hopefully, we'll get some sunshine to go with it. Between now and then, plenty of options for what to do with out-of-town guests. During the rainy parts, you can head indoors to the movies. The latest Superman offering, "MAN OF STEEL" starring Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner is showing around town. The 1973 cult classic "ELECTRA GLIDE IN BLUE" is out on bluray. On stage at Portland Center Stage you can catch the musical "SOMEWHERE IN TIME". For laughs Wed night, the Tonic Lounge on NE Sandy has it's "Weekly Recurring Humor Night". AUGGIE SMITH (you may have seen him on Comedy Central or heard him on the BOB & TOM SHOW on KGON) comes to the Helium Comedy Club on Thur. PAULY SHORE does Harvey's Comedy Club Fri & Sat. BILL MAHER has a show at the Schnitz on Sun. For music, there's the DANDY WARHOLS Wed & Thur at the Wonder Ballroom. And a big one at the end of the week...seems like we've been waiting for this one forever...LYNYRD SKYNYRD/BAD COMPANY at the Sleep Country Amphitheater on Fri. You can still win tickets this week on MY 3 SONGS with IRIS during the noon hour. CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS THIS WEEK: SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY, BEACH BOY BRIAN WILSON; ANN WILSON of HEART; MICHAEL ANTHONY bassist with VAN HALEN & CHICKENFOOT; Guitarist NILS LOFGREN; drummer for AEROSMITH JOEY KRAMER; RAY DAVIES from the KINKS; actors NICOLE KIDMAN and MERYL STREEP, PRINCE WILLIAM of Britain; and MOE HOWARD (the one with the black bangs) ringleader of the 3 STOOGES. Party's on!
